Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods and procedures for the use of serum biomarkers to predict the response of patients diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis to treatment with anti-TNFalpha biologic therapeutics.
- ankylosing spondylitis with biologics currently available or which are in development such as golimumab or adalimumab, human anti-TNFalpha antibodies, or infliximab, a murine-human chimeric anti-TNFa antibody, or enteracept, a TNFR construct, presents a number of challenges.
- One of the challenges is predicting which subjects will respond to treatment and which subjects will lose response following treatment.
- Biomarkers are defined as “a characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biologic processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention” Biomarker Working Group, 2001. Clin. Pharm. and Therap. 69: 89-95).
- the definition of a biomarker has recently been further defined as proteins the change of expression of which may correlate with an increased risk of disease or progression, or which may be predictive of a response to a given treatment.
- An anti-TNFa antibody added to cultured synovial fibroblasts reduced the expression of the cytokines IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, and GM-CSF (Feldmann & Maini (2001) Annu Rev Immunol 19:163-196).
- RA patients who were treated with infliximab had decreased serum levels of TNFR1, TNFR2, IL-1R antagonist, IL-6, serum amyloid A, haptoglobin, and fibrinogen (Charles 1999 J Immunol 163:1521-1528).
- CRP C-reactive protein
- infliximab could reduce the expression of inflammation-related cytokines such as IL-6, as well as angiogenesis related cytokines such as VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor). Ulfgren (2000 Arthritis Rheum 43:2391-2396) showed that infliximab treatment reduced the synthesis of TNF, IL-1 ⁇ , and IL-1beta in the synovium within 2 weeks of treatment.
- Pre-treatment serum marker concentrations have also been associated with response to anti-TNFa treatment.
- a low baseline serum level of IL-2R was found to be associated with clinical response to infliximab in patients with refractory RA (Kuuliala 2006).
- Visvanathan (2007a) showed that the treatment of RA patients with infliximab plus MTX induced a decrease in a number of inflammation-related markers, including MMP-3. It was shown in this study that at baseline the levels of MMP-3 correlated significantly with measures of clinical improvement one year post-treatment.
- the invention relates the use of multiple biomarkers to predict the response of a patient to treatment with anti-TNF ⁇ , and more specifically, to determine if a patient will or will not respond.
- the invention can be used to determine if a patient has responded to treatment, and if the response will be sustained.
- the invention encompasses the use of a multi-component screen using patient serum samples, to predict the response as well as non-response of patients with AS to treatment with a TNF ⁇ neutralizing monoclonal antibody.
- marker set is two or more markers chosen from the group consisting of leptin, TIMP-1, CD40 ligand, G-CSF, MCP-1, osteocalcin, PAP, complement component 3, VEGF, insulin, ferritin, and ICAM-1.
- marker sets identified in datasets from patients with AS prior to and following the initiation of anti-TNFalpha therapy, having been correlated to actual clinical response assessment are used to predict clinical response of AS patients prior to treatment with anti-TNFalpha therapy.
- the marker set is two or more markers chosen from the group consisting of leptin, TIMP-1, CD40 ligand, G-CSF, MCP-1, osteocalcin, PAP, complement component 3, VEGF, insulin, ferritin, and ICAM-1.
- the invention also provides a computer-based system for predicting the response of an AS patient to anti-TNFalpha therapy wherein the computer uses values from a patient's dataset to compare to a predictive algorithm, such as a decision tree, wherein the dataset includes the serum concentrations of one or more markers selected from the group consisting of leptin, TIMP-1, CD40 ligand, G-CSF, MCP-1, osteocalcin, PAP, complement component 3, VEGF, insulin, ferritin, and ICAM-1.
- a predictive algorithm such as a decision tree
- the dataset includes the serum concentrations of one or more markers selected from the group consisting of leptin, TIMP-1, CD40 ligand, G-CSF, MCP-1, osteocalcin, PAP, complement component 3, VEGF, insulin, ferritin, and ICAM-1.
- the computer-based system is a trained neural network for processing a patient dataset and producing an output wherein the dataset includes one or more serum marker concentrations selected from the group consisting of leptin, TIMP-1, CD40 ligand, G-CSF, MCP-1, osteocalcin, PAP, insulin, complement component 3, VEGF, and ICAM-1 .
- the invention also provides a device capable of processing and detecting serum markers in a specimen or sample obtained from an AS patient wherein the serum marker concentrations selected from the group consisting of leptin, TIMP-1, CD40 ligand, G-CSF, MCP-1, osteocalcin, PAP, complement component 3, VEGF, insulin, ferritin, and ICAM-1.

- FIGS. 1-6 are AS response prediction models shown in the form of a decision tree based on the use of serum biomarkers and correlated to patient clinical responses assessed by ASAS20 or BASDAI.
- the non-responder or “No” node means all subjects in that node are predicted by the model to be non-responders, while a “Yes” node means all subjects in that node are predicted by the model to be responders. Within the node, the number of actual non-responders/number of actual responders in that node is shown.

- the change if complement 3 from baseline to Week 4 is used as a classifier of a responder (cutoff ⁇ 0.224)
- baseline VEGF is used as
- a “biomarker” is defined as ‘[a] characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as an objective indicator of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention’ by the Biomarkers Definitions Working Group (Atkinson et al. 2001 Clin Pharm Therap 69(3):89-95).
- an anatomic or physiologic process can serve as a biomarker, for example, range of motion, as can levels of proteins, gene expression (mRNA), small molecules, metabolites or minerals, provided there is a validated link between the biomarker and a relevant physiologic, toxicologic, pharmacologic, or clinical outcome.
- serum level of a marker is meant the concentration of the marker measured by one or more methods, such as an immunoassay, typically ex vivo on a sample prepared from a specimen such as blood.
- the immunoassay uses immunospecific reagents, typically antibodies, for each marker and the assay may be performed in a variety of formats including enzyme-coupled reactions, e.g. EIA, ELISA, RIA, or other direct or indirect probe. Other methods of quantitating the marker in the sample such electrochemical, fluorescence probe-linked detection are also possible.
- the assay may also be “multiplexed” wherein multiple markers are detected and quantitated during a single sample interrogation.
- odds ratios are measures of the size of an association between an exposure (e.g., smoking, use of a medication) and a disease or death.
- a relative risk of 1.0 indicates that the exposure does not change the risk of disease.
- a relative risk of 1.75 indicates that patients with the exposure are 1.75 times more likely to develop the disease or have a 75 percent higher risk of disease.
- a relative risk of less than 1 indicates that the exposure decreases risk.
- Odds ratios are a way to estimate relative risks in case-control studies, when the relative risks cannot be calculated specifically. Although it is accurate when the disease is rare, the approximation is not as good when the disease is common.
- Predictive values help interpret the results of tests in the clinical setting.
- the diagnostic value of a procedure is defined by its sensitivity, specificity, predictive value and efficiency. Any test method will produce True Positive (TP), False Negative (FN), False Positive (FP), and True Negative (TN).
- TP True Positive
- FN False Negative
- FP False Positive
- TN True Negative
- “Sensitivity” of a test is the percentage of all patients with disease present or that do respond who have a positive test or (TP/TP+FN) ⁇ 100%.
- Specificity of a test is the percentage of all patients without disease or who do not respond, who have a negative test or (TN/FP+TN) ⁇ 100%.
- the “predictive value” or “PV” of a test is a measure (%) of the times that the value (positive or negative) is the true value, i.e. the percent of all positive tests that are true positives is the Positive Predictive Value (PV+) or (TP/TP+FP) ⁇ 100%.
- the “negative predictive value” (PV ⁇ ) is the percentage of patients with a negative test who will not respond or (TN/FN+TN) ⁇ 100%.
- the “accuracy” or “efficiency” of a test is the percentage of the times that the test give the correct answer compared to the total number of tests or (TP+TN/TP+TN+FP+FN) ⁇ 100%.
- the “error rate” is when patients predicted to respond do not and patients not predicted to respond or (FP+FN/TP+TN+FP+FN) ⁇ 100%.
- the overall test “specificity” is a measure of the accuracy of the sensitivity and specificity of a test do not change as the overall likelihood of disease changes in a population, the predictive value does change.
- the PV changes with a physician's clinical assessment of the presence or absence of disease or presence or absence of clinical response in a given patient.
- a “decreased level” or “lower level” of a biomarker refers to a level that is quantifiably less relative to a predetermined value called the “cutoff value “and above the limit of quantitation (LOQ)”, which “cutoff value” is specific for the algorithm and parameters related to patient sampling and treatment conditions.
- LOQ limit of quantitation

- This invention includes several aspects:
- serum was obtained from patients who had been treated with golimumab. Serum can be obtained at baseline (Week 0), Week 4 and Week 14 of treatment or other intermediate or longer time points. A number of biomarkers in the serum samples are analyzed, and the baseline concentration as well as the change in the concentration of biomarkers after treatment is determined The baseline and change in biomarker expression is then used to determine if the biomarker expression correlates with the treatment outcome at Week 14 or other defined timepoint after the initiation of treatment as assessed by the ASAS20 or another measure of clinical response.
- the process for defining the markers associated with the clinical response of a patient with AS to anti-TNFalpha therapy and developing an algorithm for predicting response or non-response involving the serum concentrations of those markers uses a stepwise analysis wherein the initial correlations are done by logistic regression analysis relating the value for each biomarker for each patient at Week 0, 4, and 14 to the clinical assessment for that patient at Week 14 and 24 and once the ability of a marker to significantly correlate to response to therapy at multiple clinical endpoints is determined, a unique algorithm based on defined serum values of a marker or marker set is developed using CART or other suitable analytic method as described herein or known in the art.
- the dataset markers may be selected from one or more clinical indicia, examples of which are age, gender, blood pressure, height and weight, body mass index, CRP concentration, tobacco use, heart rate, fasting insulin concentration, fasting glucose concentration, diabetes status, use of other medications, and specific functional or behavioral assessments, and/or radiological or other image-based assessments wherein a numerical values are applied to individual measures or an overall numerical score is generated. Clinical variables will typically be assessed and the resulting data combined in an algorithm with the above described markers.
- the data in each dataset is collected by measuring the values for each marker, usually in triplicate or in multiple triplicates.
- the data may be manipulated, for example, raw data may be transformed using standard curves, and the average of triplicate measurements used to calculate the average and standard deviation for each patient. These values may be transformed before being used in the models, e.g. log-transformed, Box-Cox transformed (see Box and Cox (1964) J. Royal Stat. Soc, Series B, 26:211 & #8212;246), etc. This data can then be input into the analytical process with defined parameters.
- the quantitative data thus obtained related to the protein markers and other dataset components is then subjected to an analytic process with parameters previously determined using a learning algorithm, i.e., inputted into a predictive model, as in the examples provided herein (Examples 1-3).
- the parameters of the analytic process may be those disclosed herein or those derived using the guidelines described herein.
- Learning algorithms such as linear discriminant analysis, recursive feature elimination, a prediction analysis of microarray, logistic regression, CART, FlexTree, LART, random forest, MART, or another machine learning algorithm are applied to the appropriate reference or training data to determine the parameters for analytical processes suitable for a AS response or non-response classification.
- the analytic process may set a threshold for determining the probability that a sample belongs to a given class.
- the probability preferably is at least 50%, or at least 60% or at least 70% or at least 80% or higher.
- the analytic process determines whether a comparison between an obtained dataset and a reference dataset yields a statistically significant difference. If so, then the sample from which the dataset was obtained is classified as not belonging to the reference dataset class. Conversely, if such a comparison is not statistically significantly different from the reference dataset, then the sample from which the dataset was obtained is classified as belonging to the reference dataset class.
- the analytical process will be in the form of a model generated by a statistical analytical method such as a linear algorithm, a quadratic algorithm, a polynomial algorithm, a decision tree algorithm, a voting algorithm.
- a statistical analytical method such as a linear algorithm, a quadratic algorithm, a polynomial algorithm, a decision tree algorithm, a voting algorithm.
- an appropriate reference or training dataset is used to determine the parameters of the analytical process to be used for classification, i.e., develop a predictive model.
- the reference or training dataset to be used will depend on the desired AS classification to be determined, e.g. responder or non-responder.
- the dataset may include data from two, three, four or more classes.
- a dataset comprising control and diseased samples is used as a training set.
- a supervised learning algorithm is to be used to develop a predictive model for AS disease therapy.
- the statistical analysis may be applied for one or both of two tasks. First, these and other statistical methods may be used to identify preferred subsets of the markers and other indicia that will form a preferred dataset. In addition, these and other statistical methods may be used to generate the analytical process that will be used with the dataset to generate the result. Several of statistical methods presented herein or otherwise available in the art will perform both of these tasks and yield a model that is suitable for use as an analytical process for the practice of the methods disclosed herein.
- biomarkers and their corresponding features are used to develop an analytical process, or plurality of analytical processes, that discriminate between classes of patients, e.g. responder and non-responder to anti-TNFalpha therapy.
- an analytical process can be used to classify a test subject into one of the two or more phenotypic classes (e.g. a patient predicted to respond to anti-TNFalpha therapy or a patient who will not respond). This is accomplished by applying the analytical process to a marker profile obtained from the test subject.
- phenotypic classes e.g. a patient predicted to respond to anti-TNFalpha therapy or a patient who will not respond.
- Such analytical processes therefore, have enormous value as diagnostic indicators.
- each marker profile obtained from subjects in the training population, as well as the test subject comprises a feature for each of a plurality of different markers.
- this comparison is accomplished by (i) developing an analytical process using the marker profiles from the training population and (ii) applying the analytical process to the marker profile from the test subject.
- the analytical process applied in some embodiments of the methods disclosed herein is used to determine whether a test AS patient is predicted to respond to anti-TNFalpha therapy or a patient who will not respond.
- the result in the above-described binary decision situation has four possible outcomes: (i) a true responder, where the analytical process indicates that the subject will be a responder to anti-TNFalpha therapy and the subject does in fact respond to anti-TNFalpha therapy during the definite time period (true positive, TP); (ii) false responder, where the analytical process indicates that the subject will be a responder to anti-TNFalpha therapy and the subject does not respond to anti-TNFalpha therapy during the definite time period (false positive, FP); (iii) true non-responder, where the analytical process indicates that the will not be a responder to anti-TNFalpha therapy and the subject does not respond to anti-TNFalpha therapy during the definite time period (true negative, TN); or (iv) false non-responder, where the analytical process indicates that the patient will not be a responder to anti-TNFalpha therapy and the subject does in fact respond to anti-TNFalpha therapy during the definite time period (true

- the analyses of serum markers in patients diagnosed with AS was focused on significant relationships between biomarker baseline values and response to anti-TNFa therapy.
- the analyses of the change in serum markers from baseline (prior to anti-TNFalpha therapy) to Week 4 after therapy in serum markers in patients diagnosed with AS was related to the clinical response or non-response of the patient at a later time (Week 14).
- the baseline concentration of leptin could be an initial classifier; for predicting the Week 14 outcome assessed as ASAS20 for the patients treated with golimumab.
- baseline osteocalin could be an initial classifier; for predicting the Week 14 outcome assessed as ASAS20 or as BASDAI for the patients treated with golimumab. This information can be used by physicians to determine who is benefiting from golimumab treatment, and just as important, to identify those patients are not benefiting from such treatment.
- BASDAI was used as the clinical outcome component of the model. and TIMP-1 at baseline, osteocalcin at baseline, or change in complement component 3 was the initial marker for classification. in combination with changes in G-CSF when the TIMP-1 value was elevated, and Prostatic Acid phosphatase when the TIMP-1 value was below the cutoff plus a MCP-1 value below a cutoff value predicted the outcome at Week 14.
- the markers included leptin, TIMP-1, CD40 ligand, G-CSF, MCP-1, osteocalcin, PAP, and insulin.
- the best CART model included leptin as the initial classifier: subjects with leptin above 3.8 (log scale) are predicted to be non-responders; subjects with leptin below 3.8 are classified based on the secondary predictor of CD40 ligand (CD40 ligand above 1.05 predicted as responders, CD40 ligand below 1.05 predicted as non-responders) ( FIG. 1 ).
- the model sensitivity was 86%, and model specificity was 88%.
- Biomarker change from baseline serum levels at Week 4 in AS patient found to correlate with clinical response in more than one method of assessing clinical response include: leptin, VEGF, complement 3, ICAM-1, and ferritin.
- the biomarker model uses leptin as the initial classifier: subjects with leptin above 3.8 (log scale) are predicted to be non-responders; subjects with leptin below 3.8 are classified based on two additional classifiers: i) change in complement 3, and ii) VEGF ( FIG. 5 ). Model sensitivity was 92%, and model specificity was 81%. When the clinical measure was change from baseline to Week 14 in BASDAI, the overall accuracy was similar to the ASAS20 model, change in complement component 3 was the initial classifier followed by two subclassifications using baseline ferritin followed by change in ICAM-1 ( FIG. 6 ).
- the measurement of the serum biomarkers for predicting response of a diagnosed AS patient to anti-TNF therapy may be performed in a clinical or research laboratory or a centralized laboratory in a hospital or non-hospital location using standard immunochemical and biophysical methods as described herein.
- the marker quantitation may be performed at the same time as e.g. other standard measures such as WBC count, platelets, and ESR.
- the analysis may be performed individually or in batches using commercial kits, or using multiplexed analysis on individual patient samples.
- individual and sets of reagents are used in one or more steps to determine relative or absolute amounts of a biomarker, or panel or biomarkers, in a patient's sample.
- the reagents may be used to capture the biomarker, such as an antibody immunospecific for a biomarker, which forms a ligand biomarker pair detectable by an indirect measurement such as enzyme-linked immunospecific assay.
- Either single analyte EIA or multiplexed analysis can be performed. Multiplexed analysis is a technique by which multiple, simultaneous EIA-based assays can be performed using a single serum sample.
- xMAP® technology used by Rules Based Medicine in Austin, Tex. (owned by the Luminex Corporation), which performs up to 100 multiplexed, microsphere-based assays in a single reaction vessel by combining optical classification schemes, biochemical assays, flow cytometry and advanced digital signal processing hardware and software.
- multiplexing is accomplished by assigning each analyte-specific assay a microsphere set labeled with a unique fluorescence signature. Multiplexed assays are analyzed in a flow device that interrogates each microsphere individually as it passes through a red and green laser.
- methods and reagents are used to process the sample for detection and possible quantitation using a direct physical measurement such as mass, charge, or a combination such as by SELDI.
- Quantitative mass spectrometric multiple reaction monitoring assays have also been developed such as those offered by NextGen Sciences (Ann Arbor, Mich.).
- the detection of biomarkers for evaluation of AS status entails contacting a sample from a subject with a substrate, e.g., a probe, having capture reagent thereon, under conditions that allow binding between the biomarker and the reagent, and then detecting the biomarker bound to the adsorbent by a suitable method.
- a substrate e.g., a probe
- One method for detecting the marker is gas phase ion spectrometry, for example, mass spectrometry.
- Other detection paradigms that can be employed to this end include optical methods, electrochemical methods (voltametry, amperometry or electrochemiluminescent techniques), atomic force microscopy, and radio frequency methods, e.g., multipolar resonance spectroscopy.
- Illustrative of optical methods in addition to microscopy, both confocal and non-confocal, are detection of fluorescence, luminescence, chemiluminescence, absorbance, reflectance, transmittance, and birefringence or refractive index (e.g., surface plasmon resonance, ellipsometry, a resonant mirror method, a grating coupler waveguide method or interferometry), and enzyme-coupled colorimetric or fluorescent methods.

- Specimens from patients may require processing prior to applying the detecting method to the processed specimen or sample such as but not limited to methods to concentrate, purify, or separate the marker from other components of the specimen.
- a blood sample is typically treated with an anticoagulant and the cellular components and platelets removed prior to being subjected to methods of detecting analyte concentration.
- the detecting may be accomplished by a continuous processing system which may incorporate materials or reagents to accomplish such concentrating, separating or purifying steps.
- the processing system includes the use of a capture reagent.
- One type of capture reagent is a “chromatographic adsorbent,” which is a material typically used in chromatography.
- Chromatographic adsorbents include, for example, ion exchange materials, metal chelators, immobilized metal chelates, hydrophobic interaction adsorbents, hydrophilic interaction adsorbents, dyes, simple biomolecules (e.g., nucleotides, amino acids, simple sugars and fatty acids), mixed mode adsorbents (e.g., hydrophobic attraction/electrostatic repulsion adsorbents).
- a “biospecific” capture reagent is a capture reagent that is a biomolecule, e.g., a nucleotide, a nucleic acid molecule, an amino acid, a polypeptide, a polysaccharide, a lipid, a steroid or a conjugate of these (e.g., a glycoprotein, a lipoprotein, a glycolipid).
- the biospecific adsorbent can be a macromolecular structure such as a multiprotein complex, a biological membrane or a virus.
- Illustrative biospecific adsorbents are antibodies, receptor proteins, and nucleic acids.
- a biospecific adsorbent typically has higher specificity for a target analyte than a chromatographic adsorbent.
- a wash solution refers to an agent, typically a solution, which is used to affect or modify adsorption of an analyte to an adsorbent surface and/or to remove unbound materials from the surface.
- the elution characteristics of a wash solution can depend, for example, on pH, ionic strength, hydrophobicity, degree of chaotropism, detergent strength, and temperature.
- a sample is analyzed in a multiplexed manner meaning that the processing of markers from a patient samples occurs substantially simultaneously.
- the sample is contacted by a substrate comprising multiple capture reagents representing unique specificity.
- the capture reagents are commonly immunospecific antibodies or fragments thereof.
- the substrate may be a single component such as a “biochip,” a term that denotes a solid substrate, having a generally planar surface, to which a capture reagent(s) is attached, or the capture reagents may be segregated among a number of substrates, as for example bound to individual spherical substrates (beads).
- the surface of a biochip comprises a plurality of addressable locations, each of which has the capture reagent bound there.
- a biochip can be adapted to engage a probe interface and, hence, function as a probe in gas phase ion spectrometry preferably mass spectrometry.
- a biochip of the invention can be mounted onto another substrate to form a probe that can be inserted into the spectrometer.
- the individual beads may be partitioned or sorted after exposure to the sample for detection.
- biochips are available for the capture and detection of biomarkers, in accordance with the present invention, from commercial sources such as Ciphergen Biosystems (Fremont, Calif.), Perkin Elmer (Packard BioScience Company (Meriden Conn.), Zyomyx (Hayward, Calif.), and Phylos (Lexington, Mass.), GE Healthcare, Corp. (Sunnyvale, Calif.). Exemplary of these biochips are those described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,225,047, supra, and U.S. Pat. No.
- a substrate with biospecific capture and/or detection reagents is contacted with the sample, containing e.g. serum, for a period of time sufficient to allow biomarker that may be present to bind to the reagent.
- the sample containing e.g. serum
- more than one type of substrate with biospecific capture or detection reagents thereon is contacted with the biological sample. After the incubation period, the substrate is washed to remove unbound material. Any suitable washing solutions can be used; preferably, aqueous solutions are employed.
- Biomarkers bound to the substrates are to be detected after desorption directly by using a gas phase ion spectrometer such as a time-of-flight mass spectrometer.
- the biomarkers are ionized by an ionization source such as a laser, the generated ions are collected by an ion optic assembly, and then a mass analyzer disperses and analyzes the passing ions.
- the detector then translates information of the detected ions into mass-to-charge ratios. Detection of a biomarker typically will involve detection of signal intensity. Thus, both the quantity and mass of the biomarker can be determined.
- Such methods may be used to discovery biomarkers and, in some instances for quantitation of biomarkers.
- the method of the invention is a microfluidic device capable of miniaturized liquid sample handling and analysis device for liquid phase analysis as taught in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,571,410 and USRE36350, useful for detecting and analyzing small and/or macromolecular solutes in the liquid phase, optionally, employing chromatographic separation means, electrophoretic separation means, electrochromatographic separation means, or combinations thereof
- the microfluidic device or “microdevice” may comprise multiple channels arranged so that analyte fluid can be separated, such that biomarkers may be captured, and, optionally, detected at addressable locations within the device (U.S. Pat. No. 5,637,469, U.S. Pat. No. 6,046,056 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,576,478).
- Data generated by detection of biomarkers can be analyzed with the use of a programmable digital computer.
- the computer program analyzes the data to indicate the number of markers detected and the strength of the signal.
- Data analysis can include steps of determining signal strength of a biomarker and removing data deviating from a predetermined statistical distribution. For example, the data can be normalized relative to some reference.
- the computer can transform the resulting data into various formats for display, if desired, or further analysis.
- a neural network is used.
- a neural network can be constructed for a selected set of markers.
- a neural network is a two-stage regression or classification model.
- a neural network has a layered structure that includes a layer of input units (and the bias) connected by a layer of weights to a layer of output units. For regression, the layer of output units typically includes just one output unit.
- neural networks can handle multiple quantitative responses in a seamless fashion.
- multilayer neural networks there are input units (input layer), hidden units (hidden layer), and output units (output layer). There is, furthermore, a single bias unit that is connected to each unit other than the input units.
- input units input unit
- hidden units hidden layer
- output units output layer
- a single bias unit that is connected to each unit other than the input units.
- Neural networks are described in Duda et al., 2001, Pattern Classification, Second Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York; and Hastie et al., 2001, The Elements of Statistical Learning, Springer-Verlag, New York
- the basic approach to the use of neural networks is to start with an untrained network, present a training pattern, e.g., marker profiles from patients in the training data set, to the input layer, and to pass signals through the net and determine the output, e.g., the prognosis of the patients in the training data set, at the output layer. These outputs are then compared to the target values, e.g. actual outcomes of the patients in the training data set; and a difference corresponds to an error.
- This error or criterion function is some scalar function of the weights and is minimized when the network outputs match the desired outputs. Thus, the weights are adjusted to reduce this measure of error.
- this error can be sum-of-squared errors.
- this error can be either squared error or cross-entropy (deviation). See, e.g., Hastie et al., 2001, The Elements of Statistical Learning, Springer-Verlag, New York.
- Three commonly used training protocols are stochastic, batch, and on-line.
- stochastic training patterns are chosen randomly from the training set and the network weights are updated for each pattern presentation.
- Multilayer nonlinear networks trained by gradient descent methods such as stochastic back-propagation perform a maximum-likelihood estimation of the weight values in the model defined by the network topology.
- batch training all patterns are presented to the network before learning takes place.
- batch training several passes are made through the training data.
- each pattern is presented once and only once to the net.
- weights are near zero, then the operative part of the sigmoid commonly used in the hidden layer of a neural network (see, e.g., Hastie et al., 2001, The Elements of Statistical Learning, Springer-Verlag, New York) is roughly linear, and hence the neural network collapses into an approximately linear model.
- starting values for weights are chosen to be random values near zero. Hence the model starts out nearly linear, and becomes nonlinear as the weights increase. Individual units localize to directions and introduce nonlinearities where needed. Use of exact zero weights leads to zero derivatives and perfect symmetry, and the algorithm never moves. Alternatively, starting with large weights often leads to poor solutions.
- all expression values are standardized to have mean zero and a standard deviation of one. This ensures all inputs are treated equally in the regularization process, and allows one to choose a meaningful range for the random starting weights. With standardization inputs, it is typical to take random uniform weights over the range ⁇ 0.7, +0.7.
- a recurrent problem in the use of networks having a hidden layer is the optimal number of hidden units to use in the network.
- the number of inputs and outputs of a network are determined by the problem to be solved.
- the number of inputs for a given neural network can be the number of markers in the selected set of markers.
- the number of outputs for the neural network will typically be just one: yes or no. However, in some embodiment more than one output is used so that more than just two states can be defined by the network.
- Software used to analyze the data can include code that applies an algorithm to the analysis of the signal to determine whether the signal represents a peak in a signal that corresponds to a biomarker according to the present invention.
- the software also can subject the data regarding observed biomarker signals to classification tree or ANN analysis, to determine whether a biomarker or combination of biomarker signals is present that indicates patient's disease diagnosis or status.
- the process can be divided into the learning phase and the classification phase.
- a learning algorithm is applied to a data set that includes members of the different classes that are meant to be classified, for example, data from a plurality of samples from patients diagnosed as AS and who respond to anti-TNFa therapy and data from a plurality of samples from patients with a negative outcome, AS patients who did not respond to anti-TNFa therapy.
- the methods used to analyze the data include, but are not limited to, artificial neural network, support vector machines, genetic algorithm and self-organizing maps and classification and regression tree analysis. These methods are described, for example, in WO01/31579, May 3, 2001 (Barnhill et al.); WO02/06829, Jan.
- the learning algorithm produces a classifying algorithm keyed to elements of the data, such as particular markers and specific concentrations of markers, usually in combination, that can classify an unknown sample into one of the two classes, e.g. responder on non-responder.
- the classifying algorithm is ultimately used for predictive testing.
- kits for determining which AS patients will respond or not respond to treatment with an anti-TNFa agent such as golimumab, which kits are used to detect serum markers according to the invention.
- the kits screen for the presence of serum markers and combinations of markers that are differentially present in AS patients.
- the kit contains a means for collecting a sample, such as a lance or piercing tool for causing a “stick” through the skin.
- the kit may, optionally, also contain a probe, such as a capillary tube, for collecting blood from the stick.
- the kit comprises a substrate having one or more biospecific capture reagents for binding a marker according to the invention.
- the kit may include more than type of biospecific capture reagents, each present on the same or a different substrate.
- such a kit can comprise instructions for suitable operational parameters in the form of a label or separate insert.
- the instructions may inform a consumer how to collect the sample or how to empty or wash the probe.
- the kit can comprise one or more containers with biomarker samples, to be used as standard(s) for calibration.
- blood or other fluid is acquired from the patient prior to anti-TNF therapy and at specified periods after therapy is initiated.
- the blood may be processed to extract a serum fraction or be used whole.
- the blood or serum samples may be diluted, for example 1:2, 1:5, 1:10, 1:20, 1:50, or 1:100, or used undiluted.
- the serum or blood sample is applied to a prefabricated test strip or stick and incubated at room temperature for a specified period of time, such as 1 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15, min, 1 hour, or longer. After the specified period of time the for the assay; the samples and the result are readable directly from the strip.
- the results appear as varying shades of colored or gray bands, indicating a concentration range of one or more markers.
- the test strip kit will provide instructions for interpreting the results based on the relative concentrations of the one or more markers.
- a device capable of detecting the color saturation of the marker detection system on the strip can be provide, which device may optionally provide the results of the test interpretation based on the appropriate diagnostic algorithm for that series of markers.
- the invention provides a method of predicting responsiveness to therapy with an anti-TNFalpha agent, such as golimumab, by analyzing detected biomarkers in a patient diagnosed with AS.
- an anti-TNFalpha agent such as golimumab
- a patient is first diagnosed with AS by an experienced professional using subjective and objective criteria.
- the primary clinical features of AS include inflammatory back pain caused by sacroiliitis, inflammation at other locations in the axial skeleton, peripheral arthritis, enthesitis, and anterior uveitis. Structural changes are caused mainly by osteoproliferation rather than osteodestruction. Syndesmophytes and ankylosis are the most characteristic features of this disease.
- the characteristic symptoms of AS are low-back pain, buttock pain, limited spinal mobility, hip pain, shoulder pain, peripheral arthritis, and enthesitis. Neurological symptoms can occur with cord or spinal nerve compression resulting from several complications of the disease. Vertebral fractures can develop in patients with ankylosed spines with minimal or no traumatic injury. The most common fracture site is at the C5-6 interspace.
- the diagnosis of AS is made from a combination of clinical features and evidence of sacroiliitis by some imaging technique defined by the 1984 Modified New York Criteria (van der Linden S, Valkenburg H A, Cats A: Evaluation of diagnostic criteria for ankylosing spondylitis. A proposal for modification of the New York criteria. Arthritis Rheum 27:361-368, 1984). Laboratory markers of disease, such as the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels has been shown to be unhelpful in assessing disease activity or monitoring the response to treatment (Spooorenberg A et al. 1999 J Rheumatol 26:980-4).
- ESR erythrocyte sedimentation rate
- CRP C-reactive protein
- the clinical criteria are: 1) low-back pain and stiffness of more than 3 months' duration that improves with exercise but is not relieved by rest; 2) limitation of motion of the lumbar spine in both the sagittal and frontal (coronal) planes; and 3) limitation of chest expansion relative to normal values corrected for age and sex.
- the radiological criteria are sacroiliitis Grade 2 or higher bilaterally, or Grade 3 or higher unilaterally.
- the radiographic grading of sacroiliitis consists of 5 grades: Grade 0 is a normal spine; Grade 1 indicates suspicious changes; Grade 2 indicates sclerosis with some erosion; Grade 3 indicates severe erosions, pseudodilatation of the joint space, and partial ankylosis; and Grade 4 denotes complete ankylosis.
- Definite AS is present when 1 radiological criterion is associated with at least 1 clinical criterion. Probable AS is considered if there are three clinical criteria present or radiologic criteria exist with no signs or symptoms to satisfy the clinical criteria. Clinical Grades may be used as part of the data set for generating a predictive algorithm for response to therapy.
- ASAS ankylosing Spondylitis Assessment Study Group
- VAS horizontal visual analog scale
- ASAS20 reflects the improvement by 20% of several criteria used to generate a “score” (Anderson J J et al. 2001 Arthritis Rheum 44: 1876-1886).
- the ASAS improvement criteria define a positive response to treatment as, firstly, a 20% relative improvement and, secondly, 10 units of absolute improvement in three of four domains (inflammation, function, patient perception of pain and patient global health, with no worsening in the fourth domain).
- BASDAI Bact Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index
- AS Inflammation can be evaluated clinically by assessing the degree of discomfort and morning stiffness experienced by the patient.
- BASMI Breast Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index
- BASMI is a quantitative, physician assessed measure of the spinal mobility limitations experienced by a patient with AS.
- BASMI is a validated index consisting of five clinical measurements including cervical rotation, tragus-to-wall distance, lateral spine flexion, lumbar flexion and intermalleolar distance, which reflects axial segmental involvement.
- the BASMI has been shown to demonstrate good inter-observer reliability; however, the BASMI cannot distinguish physical limitations as a consequence of acute inflammation from those caused by chronic disease damage.
- a patient's BASMI score would increase gradually over time as the AS patient develops progressive disease.
- the correlation of the BASMI with spinal radiographs have, in some cases, demonstrated a significant correlation with the presence of radiographic damage.
- BASFI Bit Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index
- clinical indices described herein are part of the patient data set and can be assigned a numerical score.
- the ASAS has prepared a consensus statement on need for anti-TNF therapy in AS (Braun et al 2003 Annals Rheumatic Diseases 62:817-824). For all three presentations of AS; axial disease, peripheral arthritis, and enthesitis, treatment failure was defined as a trial of at least three months of standard NSAID treatment. Before starting anti-TNF therapy, patients must have had an adequate therapeutic trial of at least two NSAIDs based on the use of maximal recommended or tolerated anti-inflammatory doses, unless these drugs are contraindicated.
- Anti-TNFalpha agents have been commercially available, such as infliximab, and used to treat AS for several years.
- the anti-TNF ⁇ agents have been shown to result in dramatic improvement in ankylosing spondylitis, ameliorating the different symptoms of the disease, as well as improving the quality of life.
- An AS patient may be considered a candidate for anti-TNF alpha therapy based on additional criteria beyond the clinical assessment and, optionally, failure to respond to alternative therapy such as NSAIDs and physiotherapy, sulfasalzine or methotrexate or bisphosphonates.
- a baseline or “Week 0” sample is acquired from the patient to be treated with anti-TNF therapy.

- the sample is a serum sample which is obtained from patient's blood drawn by a standard method of direct venipuncture or via an intravenous catheter.
- the patient receives the first dose of anti-TNF therapy at the time of the baseline visit or within 24-48 hours. At the time of the baseline visit, the patient is scheduled for a Week 4 visit.
- a second patient sample is acquired, preferably using the same protocol and route as for the baseline sample.
- the patient is examined and other indices, imaging, or information may be performed or monitored as proscribed by the health care professional or study design as indicated.
- the patient is scheduled for subsequent visits, such as a Week 8, Week 12, Week 14, Week 28, etc. visit for the purposes of performing assessment of disease using the such criteria as set forth by the ASAS and BASDAI and for the acquisition of patient samples for biomarker evaluation.
- other parameters and markers may be assessed in the patient's sample or other fluid or tissue samples acquired from the patient. These may include standard hematological parameters such as hemoglobin content, hematocrit, red cell volume, mean red cell diameter, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and the like. Other markers may which have been determined useful in assessing the presence of AS may be quantitated in some or all of the patient's sample, such as, CRP (Spoorenberg A et al. 1999.
- NTX serum Type 1 N-telopeptides
- urinary CTX-II urinary type II collagen C-telopeptides
- MMP3, stromelysin 1 serum matrix metalloprotease 3
- Additional inflammation-related markers that may be of use in assessing the response to treatment may be inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-8, or IL-1, inflammatory chemokines, such as ENA-78/CXCL5, RANTES, MIP-1 ⁇ ; Angiogenesis associated proteins (EGF, VEGF); additional proteases such as MMP-9, TIMP-1; molecules acting on the cellular immune system (TH-1) such as IFN ⁇ , IL-12p40, IP-10; and molecules acting on the humoral immune system (TH-2), including IL-4 and IL-13; growth factors such as FGF basic; general markers of Inflammation, including myeloperoxidase; and adhesion related molecules, such as ICAM-1.

- the medical professional's clinical judgment of response should not be negated by the test result.
- the test could aid in making the decision to discontinue treatment with golimumab.
- the prediction model algorithm
- overall benefit is that 60% of all true non-responders could be spared an unnecessary therapy or discontinued from therapy at an early timepoint (Week 4).
- the 5% false-negative “responders” (identified as likely non-responders) would have been treated, and as with all patients, their response would be judged clinically before making the decision to continue or discontinue treatment at Week 14 or later.
- the 20% false-negative “non-responders” (identified as possible responders) would have to be judged clinically, and would take the usual time to make the decision to discontinue treatment.
- Serum samples were obtained and evaluated from patients enrolled in Centocor Protocol C0524T09, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-arm study.
- the three groups consist of a placebo and two dose levels of anti-TNFa Mab treatment; golimumab 50 mg, or golimumab 100 mg administered as SC injections every 4 weeks in patients with active Ankylosing Spondylitis.
- Primary efficacy assessments were made at week 14 and week 24.
- the serum samples for the biomarker study were collected from 100 patients at baseline (Week 0), Week 4, and Week 14.
- the sera were analyzed for biomarkers using commercially available assays employing either a multiplex analysis performed by Rules Based Medicine (Austin, Tex.), or single analyte ELISA. All samples were stored at ⁇ 80° C. until tested. The samples were thawed at room temperature, vortexed, spun at 13,000 ⁇ g for 5 minutes for clarification and 150 uL was removed for antigen analysis into a master microtiter plate. Using automated pipetting, an aliquot of each sample was introduced into one of the capture microsphere multiplexes of the analytes. These mixtures of sample and capture microspheres were thoroughly mixed and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Each of the 92 biomarkers has a lower limit of quantification (LOQ).
- the criterion for using a biomarker in the analysis required the biomarker to be above the limit of quantification in at least 20% of samples.
- 63 (68%) met that criterion for inclusion in the analysis.
- An assessment of the distributions of each biomarker was made to determine whether a log transformation of that biomarker was warranted. This assessment was made without regard to treatment group.
- 60 of the 63 biomarkers in the analysis set were log 2 transformed. Table 2 identifies the biomarkers that were included in the final analysis, the LOQ, and whether log transformation was possible.
- an additional set of serum biomarker data was generated using single EIA methods for certain markers not included in the multiplex test menu.
- the additional markers were combined with the multiplex biomarker data set to determine model accuracy based on combining the single and multiplex markers. These data were only included as part of the predictive models.
- the average pairwise correlation from the sample correlation matrix was also assessed; all samples showed at least an average of 89% correlation to other samples, indicating the biomarker data was consistent across subject samples.
- the marker data was evaluated in association with the study clinical endpoints.
- the 100 patients in the protein biomarker sub-study and the study endpoints collected are shown below (Table 6).
- the clinical response primary endpoints are shown in Table 7 where the entries represent responder/total for that group. While not the main focus of the biomarker substudy, it is still helpful to the interpretation of the study to assess the treatment effect on clinical endpoints within this cohort. As shown in Table 7, the response of the golimumab treatment groups were significantly superior to placebo across the range of clinical endpoints assessed, with the exception of BASMI.
- the baseline markers identified consistently across timepoints and clinical endpoints were leptin, haptoglobin, insulin, ENA78, and apoliproprotein C3, osteocalcin, P1NP, and IL6 (by EIA). Each of these markers was significant in at least three clinical endpoints, and had an odds ratio of greater than 1.5 for at least one endpoint.

- the odds ratio (OR) represents the increased odds of clinical response for a 1 unit change on the log 2 scale, or a doubling on the linear scale.
- the multiplex-determined markers identified consistently across clinical endpoints were leptin, haptoglobin, insulin, ENA78, and apoliproprotein C3.
- single ELISA testing of the serum samples identified osteocalcin, P1NP, and IL-6.
- Each of these eight markers was had a p-value of less than 0.05 in at least three clinical endpoints, and had an odds ratio (OR) of greater than 1.5 for at least one endpoint.
- Table 9 shows the odds ratios and p-values for their association with clinical endpoints.
- the OR represents the increased odds of a clinical response for a 1 unit change on the log 2 scale, or a doubling on the linear scale.
- CART Classification and Regression Tree predictive models were developed that were used to determine which biomarkers could be used to predict the long term clinical response of patients to treatment. All prediction models employed Leave one out cross validation.
- the CART models are displayed in the form of a decision tree ( FIG. 1-6 ).
- the nodes of the tree are labeled with a class prediction (Yes for a predicted clinical endpoint responder, No for a predicted clinical non-responder) and two numbers (x/y, where x is the actual number of non responders in the study who would fall into that node and y is the actual number of responders in the study who would fall into that node).
- the overall accuracy of the model is the number of x's across the ‘No’ end nodes plus the number of y′s across the “Yes’ end nodes.
- Models were developed for the primary clinical endpoint, ACR20 at Week 14, as well as for selected secondary clinical endpoints. In general, the secondary endpoint models were very similar to the primary endpoint models in terms of their sensitivity and specificity.
- the predictive models were used to determine which biomarkers could be used to predict the response of the patients to treatment.
- One model was developed based on values obtained at baseline for markers analyzed by the multiplex assay and using the ASAS20 (primary) endpoint ( FIG. 1 ).
- the analysis of the sample results using the model showed that when the model was applied to the samples, the model was correct in 61/76 (80%) of the patients tested. This means that in the patients samples analyzed with the model, in 80% of the patients the results could predict their clinical response (ASAS20) at Week 14.
- a diagram of the model is given in FIG. 1 .
- the biomarker model uses leptin as the initial classifier: that is, patients with leptin above or equal to 3.8 (log scale) are predicted to be nonresponders.
- Those patients with leptin levels below 3.8 are then classified based on the use of a secondary marker, CD40 ligand.
- the patients with a CD40 ligand result above 1.05 are predicted to be responders, while patients with leptin levels below 3.8 and CD40 ligand below 1.05 predicted to be non-responders.
- the sensitivity of the prediction using the model was 86%.
- the specificity of the results using the model was 88%.
- a prediction model for the BASDAI endpoint is shown in FIG. 2 .
- Different biomarkers were selected for this model and the overall accuracy of the BASDAI model is similar to the ASAS20 model.
- the algorithm in FIG. 2 is based on TIMP-1 level greater than or equal to 7.033 (log scale) as the initial classifier of response to anti-TNF therapy. Patients with TIMP-1 level greater or equal to 7.033 are further classified using G-CSF less than 3.953 as a predicted responder and G-CSF greater than or equal to 3.953 as a predicted non-responder.
- Patients with TIMP-1 level less than 7.033 are further classified using PAP levels where a level of less than ⁇ 1.287 is predictive of a responder and patients with a level greater than ⁇ 1.287 are further classified based on MCP-1 levels, where MCP-1 less than 7.417 is predictive of a responder and MCP-1 greater than or equal to 7.417 is predictive of a nonresponder.
- This biomarker model uses osteocalcin (assayed by individual EIA) as the initial classifier: patients with osteocalcin greater than or equal to 3.878 (log scale) are predicted to be responders; patients with osteocalcin below 3.878 are classified based on PAP.
- the model accuracy was 88%, sensitivity was 90%, and model specificity was 84%.

- the BASDAI and ASAS20 models turned out to be very similar (both included osteocalcin and PAP) the BASDAI model added insulin as one additional classifier).
- Model accuracy was 61/76 (80%) for prediction of BASDAI clinical response.
- An additional prediction model using the multiplex data was developed to determine if the change in a biomarker at Week 4 of treatment could be included in predicting the clinical outcome at Week 14.
- An algorithm for predicting ASAS20 is displayed in FIG. 5 .
- the baseline leptin is the initial classifier: patients with leptin greater than or equal to 3.8 (log scale) are predicted to be non-responders; patients with leptin below 3.8 are further classified based on two additional predictors: i) change in complement 3, and ii) baseline VEGF.
- the accuracy was 64/76 (84%) for predicting clinical response (ASAS20) at Week 14.
- the sensitivity of the model was 92%, and the specificity was 81%.
- a prediction model for the BASDAI endpoint is shown in FIG. 6 . While the overall accuracy of the BASDAI model is similar to the ASAS20 model, different biomarkers were selected and used in this analysis: the initial marker was change in Complement component 3 from Week 0 to Week 4 where patients with a decrease of less than 0.233 (log scale) are predicted to be responders; patients with a greater or equal to 0.2333 decrease in Complement component 3 are further classified based on baseline ferritin, where if the ferritin value is greater than the cutoff value of 7.774 the patient is classified as a predicted responder and where ferritin is less than 7.774 the patient is classified as a predicted nonresponder; the subset of those predicted as a nonresponder based on ferritin are further classified based on the change in ICAM-1 levels where those with a decrease in ICAM-1 between Week 0 and Week 4 of greater than or equal to 0.02204 are classified as a predicted responders and the remaining patients with a decrease in ICAM-1 between Week 0 and Week 4 of less
- the marker values (either at baseline or the week 4 changes) preceded the clinical outcomes. This shows that a panel of biomarkers can be developed that can be used to predict with good accuracy the eventual response or non-response of AS patients to golimumab treatment.
- the best biomarker model (based on specificity and sensitivity) of clinical response (signs and symptoms) to golimumab included baseline levels of osteocalcin and prostatic acid phosphatase as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 .
